"I will eat... all the fucking chickens." which had me laughing, in no small part, because in the back of my head I heard the echoes of "Let's do this. LEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JENKINS!"

Okay so I'm halfway through the second season and I have some questions:- why did they give up on the blonde hair dye for Peter Dinklage?- why show full-frontal male nudity when it just ends up ruining the illusion? Men are constantly pulling away from whores they've just finished fucking, with flaccid penises.

Oh, I thought it was fine. The complaint from many of my friends is that it wasn't epic enough. Another friend brought up a good point that maybe it wasn't supposed to be, that he didn't warrant "epic" and dying ignobly was just the sort of death he deserved.

How are they going to work the Shae storyline, do you think? It seems like they are trying to use her in place of Tysha, but that seems like it will be difficult to pull off. It makes sense to use her in some ways, because we see that she (in the show version, at least) loves Tyrion. And it's difficult to introduce Tysha as an abstract sort of motivation for what Tyrion will do from here out, with the "where whores go" bit and all. But if she's safe in Pentos, he would know where to find her and wouldn't have any interest in going to Mereen or anywhere else. If she were captured by Tywin's men, surely they would make her testify against Tyrion in his trail. And once that is done, I can't see things going much differently then in the books. As much as I like this version of Shae, I'm gonna be sort of bummed if Tyrion doesn't kill someone with that King's Hand pin.
